Excerpt

As a complement to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief on hospitalizations for patients from urban areas, this brief presents data from 29 States on hospitalizations for patients from rural areas across time periods with a focus on the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths for patients from rural areas is presented overall and by patient characteristics from April to December 2020 compared with State-level averages from April to December in 2016–2019. The percentages of all hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths related to COVID-19 for patients from rural areas during the April–December 2020 timeframe are also provided. Because of the large sample size of the HCUP data, small differences can be statistically significant but not meaningful. Thus, only differences greater than or equal to 10 percent are discussed in the text.
